VsCode/Cursor

I am using Vibrancy extension in combination with VsCode default Dark+ theme. It makes Cursor looks semi transparent, crazy vibe, love it.

INFO

All settings with custom UI tweaks are publicly in this repo:
https://github.com/shestaya-liniya/vscode-settings

The effect is done by also setting a wallpaper, for me it's that one (one of the default MacOS wallpapers), but you can set anything

Icons: Seti + Folder sabaken.seti-minimal-folder

Here's the list of cool settings I find with a little description.

	"workbench.editor.wrapTabs": true,

	// disable folder/folder in files tree
	"explorer.compactFolders": false,

	// open folder by double click
	"workbench.tree.expandMode": "doubleClick",

	// JetBrains Mono is very cool for code, and Hack Nerd Font for icons
	"editor.fontFamily": "'JetBrains Mono', 'SF Mono', 'Fira Code', 'Operator Mono Lig', 'Hack Nerd Font'",

	// cool blinking cursor
	"editor.cursorBlinking": "expand",
	"editor.cursorStyle": "line-thin",
	"editor.cursorSmoothCaretAnimation": "on",

	// disable breadcrumbs in the top of the file
	"breadcrumbs.filePath": "off",
